          4Z)275

In the division problem above, there was no remainder. What is the remainder when 24 is divided by z ?

(A) 1       (B) 4    (C) 5     (D) 6       (E) 12 

Since 275%2F4Z+=+55, then 220Z=275 or Z=275%2F220=5%2F4 

So 24%2F%285%2F4%29=24%2A%284%2F5%29=+96%2F5

  19
5)96
  5
  46
  45
   1

So the remainder is 1.  Choice (A)
